Check out some book recommendations and favorites from Members of MyChronicPainTeam:

"Fans going, loose clothes, darkened rooms and water nearby after reading several articles on inflammation, chronic pain, chronic illnesses, and hot weather."

"My book is fictional, but the medical accounts are all things I have gone through. It is a book about a woman who endures PTSD, chronic pain, and depression. It chronicles how she deals with her challenges and tries to return back to her faith that she left behind when she was injured. It is titled "A Bruised Reed."

"Doing a lot of reading and listening to things concerning new interest."
